MANILA, Philippines – ABS-CBN has reminded the public to use social media responsibly after one of its star talents, Liza Soberano, sued an Internet provider employee for an online rape comment.
In a statement issued Thursday, ABS-CBN also praised Liza’s “courage to protect her dignity as a woman” in filing the complaints.
“Reckless and malicious use of social media should never be tolerated. Also, the rape is not a joke, ”ABS-CBN said.
“We applaud Liza’s courage to protect her dignity as a woman. Let this be a lesson for everyone to be responsible in the use of social networks and be respectful with others, “added the network.
The actress last Thursday went to the Municipal Prosecutor’s Office of the city of Quezón to file charges for electronic libel, serious threats and unjust harassment against the employee.
Screenshots of the employee’s comment about the actress circulated online after Liza conveyed her frustration with Converge’s customer service.
“We can’t do anything, we don’t have a job, so it doesn’t matter if the image is damaged, it just makes money. It’s nice to be raped by ignorant people! “the clerk supposedly said.
(We can’t do anything. She doesn’t have a job. So she doesn’t care if her image gets damaged, just so she can have money. It would be good if they raped her … I don’t know!)
Meanwhile, Sovereign vowed that he would not let the employee’s words pass.
Converge issued an apology to the actress and promised to take disciplinary action against the employee.
